The Graviers, Dijon opened in 2002, the Carp lakes at Dijon have as predicted, developed into a 1st class fishery. Both, in the quality of the fishing, and the lakes themselves as an un spoilt natural, aquatic environment.

​

We have worked very hard over the past 16 years to create the perfect Carp lake, breaking the mould of the "commercial" fishery in several ways.

​

Commercial?  Not a word I like to use to describe the lakes, as it tends to paint a picture of exactly what I've bee trying hard to avoid here.

​

Angling pressure has been kept to an absolute functional minimum, in order to preserve the lakes and the angling, and it has now become a real pleasure to fish these un-spoilt waters, surrounded by such a variety of wildlife found in and around the natural aquatic environment.

​

Small groups of anglers only, which means each angler has plenty of water to fish, which should make a nice change for lots of you who fish in France.

​

Fishing at the Graviers will certainly re-introduce the achievement factor back into your carp fishing. They don't give themselves up easy here, you will have to work at it to get results.

​

I would tend to recommend it to the more advanced and experienced carp angler, people who prefer a non crowded water, and a fairly difficult level of angling. The lake is not "over populated", it has a very natural balance of carp and other species.
